Hikma Pharmaceuticals Share Discussion Threads

[justiceforthemany] 05/5/2022 15:36

P/E ~ 11 for a pharmaceutical company with a solid balance sheet with growth areas seems very low.

Wrong yet again Monty
I must say you are a very useful contra bellwether

10% share price fall seems very harsh for these revenues moving out perhaps 2-3 months!

[robertball] 05/5/2022 10:02

Serial disappointment. The last one was About the GSK drug thingee.The CEO is well regarded so we'll see what happens

Market always overdo it on the downside and upside.Like I said never ever thought I would see forecast p.e 10.7 for Hikma.

While sentiment is generally against this stock, any little wobble will knock the price down far more than an equivalent bit of good news will raise it. Sentiment will turn whenever it deigns to.

Looks to be a bit of a timing issue - so imo the fall looks overly harsh.
But who knows - this share has been hammered since the end of last year.

[robertball] 05/5/2022 08:01

Not really

[scepticalinvestor] 05/5/2022 07:53

Good grief, basket case

[montyhedge] 05/5/2022 07:08

Never thought I would see Hikma forecast p.e 10.7. Well at least more shares for them in the buybacks.

[robertball] 05/5/2022 07:07

The FT just said that share price subdues due to slow generics.

[netcurtains] 05/5/2022 06:53

Nope sorry that was wrong

It was unchanged

[suetballs] 05/5/2022 06:46

Lower generics guidance for 2022 this am - not good with the share price already severely depressed.

[netcurtains] 04/5/2022 07:25

Do we know the reason for recent big falls?
What did the FT comment say?

Thanks for any info.

Cheers Net.

[robertball] 30/4/2022 07:06

As per FT comment today

[netcurtains] 29/4/2022 15:20

Monty: Thanks for pointing that out. Cheers Net!

It will bounce, in April 2020 shares were 1767p April 2020 trading update said generic margins 13% to 18% shares were 2700p by the Oct 2020.This April trading update generic margins 23% to 25% growth 8% to 9% and shares fall 7.2%.

blue59: Well, if you know different, you're not telling anyone.
I suspect no one actually knows.

It will probably either recover quickly (as it has in the past) or some further news will come out explaining it all.

[montyhedge] 29/4/2022 12:37

Down 7%, I thought quite good, they said strong cash generation. All in line, shows how much I know, lol

[montyhedge] 29/4/2022 10:16

Must admit seems strange, unless a fund dumping, but look at the shares in the buyback 100p cheaper.

[netcurtains] 29/4/2022 10:05

Was it just a HIK up?

[netcurtains] 29/4/2022 08:02

Why is a PE ratio of about 12, with a dividend, with share buyback, and growing at 7% per annum considered bad news?

What have I missed?
